摘要: Norrin is a secreted protein which encoded by the NDP gene mutated in Norrie disease. In eye, major site of expression Muller glia. activates canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway via specific binding to frizzled (Fzd)4/low-density lipoprotein receptor-related (Lrp)5/6 receptor complex, and part an essential system that controls formation retinal capillaries during development. Independent from its angiogenic function, has pronounced neuroprotective properties on ganglion cells activation Wnt/β-Catenin subsequent induction neurotrophic growth factors cells. addition, there evidence uterus placenta required for reproduction
